Data Warehouse Integrates Toxic Inhalation Hazards and Hazardous Materials Information,GIS, and the Intranet

ABSTRACT

A data warehouse, developed for United States Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (USDOE/NNSA) Pantex Plant in a multi-department collaboration, brings data from disparate datasets and spatial information about the site together into a single database accessible through an intranet web page or ArcGIS software. The web page directs queries of buildings, facilities, and areas through a Geographic Information System (GIS) viewer that displays spatial site information and chemical hazards data. The Spatial Database Engine (ArcSDE) provides the vehicle for linking mainframe datasets, downloaded daily, to current spatial information about buildings and facilities that store chemicals of potential concern to firefighters and other emergency responders. The system is available to the plant's shift supervisors and individual GIS users throughout the department.     

Evaluation of Open Geospatial Consortium Standards for Use in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory GIS

ABSTRACT

Over the summer of 2005, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Computer Applications and Research Department conducted a small project that examined whether Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards might be useful in meeting program mission requirements more effectively. OGC standards are intended to facilitate interoperability between geospatial processing systems to lower development costs and to avoid duplication of effort and vendor lock-in.

Some OGC standards appear to be gaining traction in the geospatial data community, the Federal government, Department of Energy (DOE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and so an evaluation was deemed appropriate.     

Geospatial Products and Techniques at the Center for Transportation Analysis

ABSTRACT

This paper highlights geospatial science-related innovations and developments conducted by the Center for Transportation Analysis (CTA) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. CTA researchers have been developing integrated inter-modal transportation solutions through innovative and cost-effective research and development for many years.

Specifically, this paper profiles CTA-developed Geographic Information System (GIS) products that are publicly available. Examples of these GIS-related products include: the CTA Transportation Networks; GeoFreight system; and the Web-based Multi-Modal Routing Analysis System. In addition, an application on assessment of railroad hazmat routing alternatives is also discussed.

GeoSpatial Infrastructure at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site

ABSTRACT

Geographic Information Systems technology provides a keystone for achieving the mission and vision of the U. S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site. The Hanford Site, located in Richland, Washington, is at a critical crossroads involving environmental, political, cultural, and economic concerns. The site has been collecting spatial data for a period of 60 years and now, more than ever, the organization and structure of spatial databases at Hanford provide a critical path to providing an effective, efficient, and safe cleanup mission demonstrating the effectiveness of environmental protection and restoration activities. This paper provides a current state of spatial data collections, use, management, and challenges at the Hanford Site through the development of a spatial data infrastructure. Recommendations designed to ensure long-term data quality, usability, and sustainability now and into the future are presented.     

试验设计在实验设备可靠性分析中的应用

为了掌握实验设备的运行质量状况,从质量管理的角度出发,提出把实验设备纳入测量系统范畴的试验设计(DOE)方法。根据DOE的原理,在测量系统中用统计方法设计试验,采集、分析响应数据,确定测量系统的显著影响因素,从而对实验设备进行可靠性分析。采用DOE分析传感器测量系统可靠性的实例表明,DOE能够以相对少的实验运行次数,最大化掌握测量系统的有用信息,找出测量系统可靠运行的最佳状态,是高校实验设备可靠性分析的一种实用方法。
